Yahoo Sports NFL on Theo Johnson

Johnson's early struggles with Daboll's offense gave way to TE1 role and snap consistency.

Tight end is one of the more challenging positions to play as a rookie; Johnson had a tough early transition and during training camp said learning Brian Daboll's offense was like 'drinking water out of a fire hose.' He struggled with his assignments and as a receiver through the first six weeks of the season, although his blocking was always an asset. The Giants were perfectly comfortable throwing Johnson into the deep end, and he never played less than 70% of the snaps in a game, solidifying himself as a tight-end one on the team.
